Symbolic representation:

C + <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $O_2$ → <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> ${CO}_2$

●The equation is balanced. The number of atoms of each element on reactant and product side is equal. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
